Not a Witch

Contrary to what Lorraine Hill thought, Bai Zao seemed to have the most beautiful doll in the world in his hands at the moment, and naturally there was a strong desire in his heart to dress the doll in the best clothes, so that he could have fun.

"Stop." Lorraine Hill pressed Bai Zao's hand, shaking her head helplessly, whether she should buy clothes by herself or by her.

It is definitely not allowed to watch it, and it is hard to refuse after reading it. She recalled the losses she suffered in her previous life.

"Just buy that one." She raised her hand slightly and pointed to an elegant plain gray dress.

It's better to keep a low profile when you're away from home, Lorraine Hill thought so.

Bai Zao saw that she was quite assertive, and knew that it would be bad to say anything, so she had no choice but to nod.

"Just that one, but wrap up that stealthy skirt as well."

"Okay." The clerk responded briskly, and then took off the Jia gray dress.

[Jia Ash: the ashes of Jia Chi.The ancients burned the reed film into ashes, put it in the law tube, and put it in a secret room to account for the climate.When a certain festival arrives, the ashes of the reeds in a certain law will fly out, indicating that the festival has arrived. ]

It is not as conspicuous and special as pure white, nor is it too deep and dull like pitch black, but the gray of reeds is very suitable for the needs of girls today.

After buying two pieces of clothes, the two walked out of the tent. At this moment, they heard a noise coming from another tent not far away, so they also walked in curiously.

"I didn't expect to see the knives from Yinmiao Village this time, but aren't these knives generally under the jurisdiction of Dong's lawsuit?

Seeing that Lorraine Hill didn't quite understand, Bai Zao briefly explained.

"Ordinary swords and the like, the dynasty doesn't care. But extraordinary equipment with curse marks will be under the jurisdiction of a special winter lawsuit."

"Yin Miao Village is a middle-level faction on the north side of Lei Ze. It is famous for its good at making swords and fighting. Some of its disciples will come out to be guards, and some will open silver and iron shops and make utensils for a living."

"This group of people has always had nothing to lose. Although the things they sell are good, the prices are still high."

"Everyone be quiet. Recently, the states and counties have been quite turbulent, and bandits have appeared frequently. Now we have also obtained a license from Dong Dong's lawsuit to hold and sell a few curse swords and seal knives to defend against attacks."

"Please look." After speaking, the merchant took out a gardenia-yellow scroll and unfolded it. In it was written the license and the quantity held and allowed to be sold in green sand, and there were several small crosses drawn with a vermilion pen underneath.

"It's dark today, and the snake is foggy..... Wuze merchants are specially allowed to hold 20 Miao silver knives and sell 30 of them.Every one sold must be red approved under the volume, and the registration is clear.If you deliberately neglect and let the sword flow out, you will be punished! '

Lorraine Hill looked away from the scroll, and turned to the long knife in his hand.

[Yin Miao Village Standard Long Knife] (Bronze Grade, Excellent): White wrought iron mixed with old silver is crafted by secret methods. Yin Miao Village and Dong Lian jointly supervised the production. It is often used as standard equipment by local sergeants.

The blade of the long knife is not bright, but rather straight, with grooves on the blade, and the overall color is a slightly dull silver gray, as if the surface has been oxidized.But under the demonstration of this merchant, its blade easily cut through the tough cowhide, and easily cut another ordinary iron ax, which is extremely sharp.

"Because of the restrictions imposed by the winter lawsuit, we can only sell three to the local copycats, which is insurmountable."

After the merchant finished speaking, the villagers below quickly asked the price loudly.

"The base price is two goldbird coins, and the one with the highest price will get it." After finishing speaking, the discussion began below.

"Things are good, but the price is not low."

"Yeah, it's estimated that most of the savings of ordinary people will be wiped out."

"But now that the world is getting more and more unstable, buying one for self-defense and hunting is good for you."

"Are the recent bandits so powerful? Even Dong Sui has started to release such things."

"It is estimated that this is to enhance the defense capability of the place, and it is also to prepare part of the salary. It is said that the state pastor has contacted several major factions in the vicinity, preparing to wipe out the thieves hiding in Wuze."

"Sister Bai, aren't you afraid that these weapons will be leaked into the hands of the bad guys in Dong's lawsuit?"

Despite the official notice, Lorraine Hill still didn't quite understand such a decision, because in her past perception, chivalrous use of martial arts was forbidden, and the government generally wanted to confiscate local weapons.

"The jurisdiction may have been strict in the past, but the situation is different now." Bai Zao seemed to think of something with a little emotion.

"After the sudden change of the world, the strength of the holy dragon immortals in the dynasty has declined, and their control has also dropped a lot. The hinterland of the Central Plains is fine, and our remote areas are not very stable, so there is no way to do this."

"Actually, Dong's lawsuit has not been completely released. Have you seen their request?" Bai Zao explained further.

"The so-called good people refer to families with local household registration, more than three generations of residence, and relatives with no misdeeds. In this way, their general stability can be guaranteed."

Hearing what Bai Zao said, Lorraine Hill recalled the historical system of consecutive sittings. In this way, the big clan would actively maintain stability and live together on weekdays. It is really difficult for a single person to do bad things.

However, such a system also has its disadvantages, but it is more applicable in the current era.

While the two were watching the group of villagers vying for quotations, Yu Baichou also came over.

"Miss Lan, have you bought your clothes? In two days, we have to leave with this branch of the merchant."

"Well, I've bought it. Uncle Yu said to prepare some things. What are they?"

"Don't worry about this, I've already prepared it. It's nothing more than rain ponchos, felt blankets, dry food, drinking water, and mounts for the road."

"Mount?" Lorraine Hill felt something strange.

"That's right, it's for Miss Lan. You can't go through mountains and rivers like us rough people."

"Hey, what kind of mount is that?" The girl had a bad feeling.

"A very docile donkey. I bought it from a family on the north side of the village." Yu Baichou said with a little complacency, as if he felt that he had done something thoughtful.

"Ah..." Lorraine Hill opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.

-----

The next night, the maiden and Baizao sat by the fire in the house.

White Algae was threading back and forth with a needle and thread, sewing the shoes in her hands, and Lorraine Hill's knees and skirts were also covered with silk threads of various colors, and she was weaving beautiful and complicated knots in her hands.

In the big red knot, there are several emerald silk threads, which make the pattern more prominent and unique. As the slender fingers move back and forth flexibly, a beautiful tassel gradually takes shape.

"Little Lanxi is so skillful, have you learned it before?" Bai Zao lowered her head slightly, bit off the end of the thread in her hands, tied a knot, and the boots were sewn together.

"It seems that I didn't learn it specially, but I suddenly remembered it." Lorraine Hill recalled his dreams in the past few days.

She seems to have lived in a technologically advanced world for more than 20 years, and her memories are so clear and real that even a TV program she occasionally watched during the winter vacation when she was a child is still vivid in her memory, as if it was yesterday.

And she is also relying on the techniques demonstrated in this program to weave knots and tassels.

"That's great, don't worry too much, I'll always remember it. Come on, try to see if these boots fit, if not, I'll change them for you."

"Thank you, Sister Bai." Lorraine Hill sincerely thanked her.During these few days, Baizao cared about every aspect of her life just like her own sister, which was an experience she had never experienced before.

She took the boots, and there was still a slight warmth from the flames on them, making them a little warm to the touch.

She took off the clogs she wore at home these days, put her slender feet with socks into the boots, tied them with laces, stood up, and tried to walk back and forth in the house.

Seeing the girl's lithe figure, swaying soft hair, and the hazy face reflected in the firelight, Bai Zao was slightly dazed.

"That's good."

Chapter 14 The Girl Under the Blood Moon

One night before leaving.

Lorraine Hill slept on the Qiong Tower, outside the window was the dark mountains, and there was no light in the house.

Just when the young girl fell into a peaceful sleep, faint lines emerged from her forehead, it was a light golden sun pattern surrounded by lotus-like feathers.As the pattern lighted up, the girl's hair also glowed with golden brilliance like water, slightly illuminating her sleeping figure.

And after this pattern lighted up faintly, the change of light and dark seemed unstable, and then another pattern replaced the pattern of the sun.It was a silver moon disk, and there seemed to be branches and leaves around the moon disk.

When the pattern of the silver moon lights up, the golden brilliance on the hair also dissipates, replaced by a light silver streamer, spreading along the hair.

The patterns of the faint silver moon flickering and the sun appearing one after another, seem to be indistinctly competing for something, and the two appear alternately.

Time passed slowly, and in the end, it seemed that both of them were tired, and gradually turned off, returning to normal, the room returned to darkness, and the girl's hair became the usual black.

At this time, the night also enters the deepest time.

In his sleep, Lorraine Hill seemed to be experiencing a bizarre world.

It was an extremely ancient and wild era, and the world was filled with intelligent races with different appearances.Among them are elegant women with wings flying in the sky, warriors shouting and running on wildebeests on the ground, musicians with pointed ears sitting on top of trees, and travelers riding whales in the sea.

And from the perspective of my own observation, it seems to be a race with no special abilities, mediocre and weak, and I can only look up to other races that stretch themselves to the fullest.

But after many years of this phenomenon, it finally began to change.

It was an unforgettable night.A young girl looked enviously at the flying figure in the sky, so beautiful and powerful.

She has blood-red pupils, three pairs of blood-red wings, and fair skin like the moon.

This figure spotted the girl in the forest, and she slowly folded her wings and descended.

"What's your name?" Qi approached slowly, with a hint of kindness between his soft brows.

"I don't know, I don't have a name." The girl stared at this dreamy scene with her eyes wide open.

"That's it...then how about I give you a name." The woman stroked the girl's hair.

"Just Julius."

"Zhu, who is as red as blood, is the abbreviation of Lilith."

The girl nodded, as if she understood.

"What a good boy." The woman hugged the little girl in front of her, and there seemed to be some tears in her eyes, but she soon returned to normal.

After quietly embracing each other for a while, the woman slowly rose up, and the three pairs of bright red wings behind her also emitted a soft light.

"This is the first time we've met and maybe the last time we'll see each other."

"Just let me give you a present." Her figure gradually became unreal, like waves rippling.

As the woman's words fell, the bright moon in the sky gradually turned silver, and then a slight sound sounded in the sky, which seemed to be the sound of something breaking.

Meteors of various colors streaked across the long night sky and fell to the earth, including blue, green, orange, yellow, etc., in various colors.

And one of the crimson meteors also fell to this place, and under the pulling of the woman's fingers, it sank into the center of the little girl's eyebrows.

"Goodbye, I will be a strong child in the future." After doing these things, the woman seemed to be extremely exhausted, and her figure was on the verge of breaking.

"You, what's your name." The little girl asked looking at the figure that was about to disappear in the sky.

"Wa."

As the last words sounded, his body also turned into pieces of light sand, passing away with the wind.

------

In the early morning, a bird with gray and blue feathers landed on the window sill, chirping, occasionally jumping a few times, back and forth on the stone window sill, tilted its head to look at the room, it seemed that there was no one suitable for breakfast, and then shook its head. Wings fly away.

The girl on the bedside opened her eyes sleepily amidst the chirping of birds, and slowly sat up.Her head seemed to be still a little heavy, sometimes drooping and sometimes raised, and after a long while, she stretched herself and became fully awake.

It was a long dream, as if it had gone through hundreds of years.While stretching, the girl suddenly found a complicated blood moon pattern flashing on the back of her hand, and then disappeared.
